Over 400 people attended the RSVP event. Quicksilver Resources purchased the Elk Falls site for $8.6 million. They are inves-tigating options to build and oper-ate natural gas liquefaction, storage and on-loading facilities, renaming the site Discovery LNG. The poten-tial multi-billion dollar project will first undergo a feasibility study and then seek regulatory approval. Once approval is received and financing is in place, Quicksilver would begin construction. It’s expected the facility would be oper-ational by 2019 or 2020, with its major customers for their liquefied natural gas being China, Korea and Japan. Said Rushford, “This site is by far the best location for an LNG facility in British Columbia. The community is extremely sup-portive, it (the site) has access to a deep water port, it’s a brownfield site, excellent infrastructure and Campbell River has a highly edu-cated workforce – we couldn’t be happier.”

In preparation for an upcoming downtown visioning and design charrette, members of the public are invited to share their ideas at an open house/workshop.
This fall, the City of Campbell River will host an intensive visioning and design charrette to develop a community-supported concept for vacant land on the waterfront near Roberts Reach Road. This exercise will fine-tune the community vision for this area that was established through the Sustainable Official Community Plan process.
“A charrette is a collaborative design and planning session that combines the interests of a diverse group of people to achieve a viable land use and urban design concept,” explains Ross Blackwell, the City’s manager of land use services. “Ideas gathered during the pre-char-rette sessions will help structure the charrette
led by a consulting team later this fall.”Pre-charrette workshops will take place:• 7 to 8:30 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 18
– Room 2, Campbell River Community Centre• 12:30 to 2:30 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 19
– Room 2, Campbell River Community Centre“The charrette later this fall will also offer
opportunities for additional public education and input,” Blackwell confirms.
The consulting team that will lead the char-rette has not yet been selected, but is expected to include experts in architecture and land-scape architecture, engineering, city planning and land economics.
The area that will be the focus of the charrette is considered a key location for downtown revitalization due to the visual prominence of the site and its proximity to the downtown core.

The Campbell River Fire Department will hold an open house from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 21 at Fire Hall No. 1 (Dogwood Street).
Last year’s event drew a keen crowd when hundreds of Campbell River residents turned out for the event.
“Fire Hall No. 1 was crawling with kids for four hours,” says Fire Chief Ian Baikie. “There
was such a demand to try out the ladder climb that we had fire fighters spelling each other off, and cameras were clicking constantly.”
People took photos with fire fighters and tested their skills pulling hoses, climbing the 75-foot truck ladder and cutting apart cars.
The day also included fire safety and pre-vention information and a barbecue fundraiser for Cameryn’s Cause.

In April 2012, Carol-Ann Dwyer noticed her speech was slurred and assumed it was caused by some dental work she had recently.
The long time Campbell River therapist and owner of Carol’s Counselling and Consulting, Women’s Centre local board mem-ber and group facilitator did not expect what would come 10 months later.
Carol-Ann was diagnosed with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), People living with the disease become progressively paralyzed due to degeneration of the upper and lower motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. Eighty per cent of people with ALS die within two to five years of diagnosis– unable to breathe or swallow. Ten per cent of those affected may live for 10 years or longer.
Carol-Ann reached out right away to hospice. “I was pro-active, I am not a wait until the last minute type of person,” she said. “I am sure glad hospice is here.”
Carol-Ann described her experience with hospice in Victoria when her youngest brother, 49, was dying of esophageal cancer. “In his last weeks he was staying in hospice and all his siblngs, there are 10 of us, came and stayed with him. There was always someone with him. We sat around and shared stories, up to 15 of us sometimes and there was never a limit on visitors or visiting hours. You don’t get that in a hospital. It was a very respectful way to allow him and our family to be together and say good-bye. He knew he was safe and in good hands. There is so much beauty in hospice.”
Carol-Ann, whose lung capacity has deteriorated and her ability to speak and swallow is impaired, has lost 30 pounds this year and said that when her time comes she wants to go to that (Victoria) hospice.
“With this disease, as the muscles no longer work and I get to a place where I am ‘locked in’, meaning I cannot blink or move a finger to communicate even yes or no, it will be very hard for my husband to care for me 24/7,” she said. “He says he can do it but I don’t want our last weeks together spent with him being exhausted. And I want to know I am safe and in good hands. Just like I am now.”
Carol-Ann is referring to the care she is receiving from the Campbell River Hospice Society,
“I first used their services when my brother was dying,” she said. “I used their library.”
That library includes literature for grieving parents, grief after suicide, grief support for children and teens, relaxation techniques, coping with holidays and anniversaries and practical advice and comfort measures for caregivers.
Carol-Ann currently receives home visits from a volunteer where they talk about her life memories. “We talk about almost everything, there is a lot of laughter, it is nice to be able to do this and it gives me a break just to go over memories and what I am doing with all of that.”
As she gets sicker she will access more of the services they offer.
“I want to make it clear if there was a hospice house in Campbell River, I would go here and not to Victoria, but they don’t have one,” she said. “Having a hospice house is absolutely essential. I know of people from Campbell River who do not want to die in a hospital and cannot die at home, they have to go to Victoria. Hospice is organized the way patients and their fam-ilies want and respite beds provided so the caregivers can have a break. I can care for myself now but at some point it will be on my husband. I know he will need a break. I would love to have

Dwyer from page 3.a local space so I wouldn’t worry about him and what it is doing to him. Wouldn’t it be nice if builders got together and did a spec home they could donate to hospice? Campbell River is such a giving community. Is there the will here and in government circles to have a hospice home avail-able in our community?”
Currently the space hospice has in Campbell River is a rented office and they have to vacate that at the end of October.
“After 27 years of being renters the society sees the potential in owning a place of our own, especially given the current buyer’s market,” said Iona Wharton, Executive Director of Campbell River Hospice Society, which has won the Campbell River Non Profit of the Year award in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2011.
“The house, we need should be big enough to continue the programs we do offer and expand to allow us to do day programs for palliative patients and their caregivers,” she said. “Nobody is really doing this in BC yet, other than Kamloops. When a patient is still well enough to be transported to our house, we would have a nurse on location and the person would spend four to five hours per day having speakers, lunch, relaxation, self care, group time talking to each other, maybe watch a movie have some popcorn, pet therapy, music therapy, having fun and learn-ing together. This time also gives the caregiver a
break.”Wharton stressed that the Society is not
part of the Vancouver Island Health Authority (VIHA), and they stand alone as a non-profit charitable organization.
They do not receive core funding and rely heavily on their own fundraising measures, grants, donations and membership fees to keep Hospice going. They also accept points from Quality Foods, Heriot Bay Tru Valu, Save on Foods, Canadian Tire Money and bottle returns to the CR Bottle Depot.
“It is a well-known fact by those of us in this line of work that Hospice care costs half as much to provide as hospital care does,” said Wharton. “The cost of an acute hospital bed is in the region of $1,000/day whereas the cost of a hospice bed is $275/day, roughly a quarter of the price. This could then free up an acute care bed in the hospital.”
“Although saving money isn’t part of our goal, hospice care can greatly reduce costs while providing far better outcomes for families includ-ing comfort and peace of mind,” said Wharton.
If you would like to support the Campbell River Hospice and their search for a house to call their own, please contact the Society at 250-286-1121 or email [email protected]. Tax receipts are issued for all donations of $10 or more.

USED CARS TO BESOLD AT $77.00 AND UP
THANK YOU NORTH ISLAND FOR MAKINGBILL HOWICH CHRYSLER, RV & MARINE THE #1 PLACE
TO PURCHASE A NEW OR PRE-OWNED VEHICLE.
The number one volume deal-er in Campbell River is over-stocked again with used car inventory and will be selling used cars and trucks for as low as seventy-seven dollars and up Saturday, September 14, 2013.Rain or shine.
Steve Somerset, General Sales Manager for Bill Howich Chrysler, announced plans to hold the 23rd Annual used car and truck event with used vehicles starting at seventy-seven dollars and up Saturday, September 14, 2013. According to Mr. Somerset, sales from the last few months have resulted in an extra amount of used cars and trucks. “In the last few months we have increased our used inventory at a tremendous rate. Now we need to reduce the number of cars and trucks on our lot. During this seventy-seven dollar sale every used car and truck will be sold for hun-dreds to thousands below the original price.” Mr. Somerset said, “Our customers should find these prices as low as auc-tion prices in many cases.”
This is the 23rd $77 Sale at our dealership and we have
sold over 750 vehicles into the Campbell River North Island region.
Here, every used car and truck is on sale. FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED AND NO BIDDING. It’s the perfect opportunity to get a goodquality used product at the lowest price possible, includ-ing cars for only seventy-seven dollars. All cars and trucks will be on display at 2777 North Island Highway, Campbell River. At 8:30 a.m. all vehicles will be opened so that buy-ers may inspect the vehicles for one hour before the salebegins at 9:30 a.m. Whomever is sitting behind the wheel at 9:30 a.m. when the prices are DRASTICALLY REDUCED on the windshield will be given first opportunity to purchase the vehicle at the DRASTICALLY REDUCED price. This innova-tive approach to selling used vehicles will make it easy and quick for anybody in the mar-ket to own a good used car or truck at a very low price with no hassle.
“We have business managers who will help buyers arrange
low-cost financing, as well as bank representatives that will be present. We’ve got over 3 million dollars in used inven-tory to choose from. Our total inventory will be over 200 used cars and trucks, including our X-lease inventory. We want to remind everybody that this is a one-day sale only! When our inventory has been reduced, we will remove the sale prices and return to normal operations.
“Since we are a local business, we would like to give back to the community,” Mr. Somerset said. “We would rather allow local people to buy these vehi-cles than wholesale them at an auction.”
Any questions can be direct-ed-to 1-877-280-9555 or 250-287-9555. Bill Howich Chrysler opens at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, September 14, 2013, and the sale starts at 9:30 a.m. SHARP! Buyers must be 19 years or older with a valid driver’s license.
Just a reminder that all new cars and trucks will also be on sale for this event with savingsup to $11,750 off MSRP on some models!

If you get the munchies then ice cream cones are available at the concession nearby but there is no smoking on Discovery Pier.
This is just a reminder because the Sensible BC Campaign is setting up their information and petition signing on the Pier starting today.
Matthew Wilkinson, canvasser for the campaign, said that they will be there from noon to 5 p.m. every day through to late November, “We are allowed to be there because it is a public place,” said Wilkinson, a canvasser for the group which has strug-gled to find locations where they can set up.
“We have over 30 canvassers here in Campbell River so there will be a variety of people available to serve anyone who is on the provincial voters list and who wishes to endorse this campaign.”
Dana Larsen, Sensible BC Director is the force behind the Sensible BC Campaign, a group which is working to decriminalize the simple possession of cannabis in British Columbia through the Sensible Policing Act.
The Sensible Policing Act would
amend the Police Act, to redirect all police in the province from taking any action, including searches, seizures, citations or arrests, in cases of simple cannabis pos-session by adults. This would apply to all RCMP and municipal police in BC.
“It is true that marijuana is prohibited under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, which is federal legislation,” said Larsen. “However, the provinces control the administration of justice which includes policing and police priorities. All police in BC operate under the authority of the BC Police Act. Directing the use of police resources through an amendment to the Police Act is entirely within provincial juris-diction.”
The group is promoting a provincial referendum on the Sensible Policing Act. To hold a referendum they will need to col-lect over 350,000 signatures from voters all across the Province.
BC’s referendum system has fixed elec-tion dates. The next one is scheduled for September 2014.
“It’s not easy to get on the ballot, the HST referendum campaign is the only one ever to succeed in getting enough signatures
to force a vote,” said Larsen. “To have a provincial vote in September 2014, we need to get the signed support of 10 per cent of registered voters in every riding.”
The Sensible BC organizers said that British Columbia has Canada’s highest rate of police reported incidents for simple pos-session of marijuana. They report that police spend about twice as much time and money as the national average on dealing with marijuana possession.
On their website, they report that BC police spent their time on over 19,000 incidents of marijuana possession in 2010 alone, a rate of 420 incidents per 100,000 people. The national average is just 220 per 100,000. Over 3,580 British Columbians were charged with simple possession of marijuana last year. This is close to double the rate of charges of any other province.
“The Sensible Policing Act still allows police to deal with drivers impaired by mari-juana or any other substance in the exact same way they always have,” said Larsen. “There are no changes in this regard and it treats possession of marijuana by a minor in the exact same way as alcohol.”
Sensible BC Campaign setting up at Pier
The Quadra Philippines Connection presents its 19th annual Giant Garage Sale to be held on Sunday, Sept. 22 at the Quadra Community Centre from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.
All items are by donation and it is advised to come early to take advantage of a multitude of recycled treas-ures filling the expanse of the community centre includ-ing furniture, appliances, household goods, toys, tools, books, clothing and more. A concession selling home-baked goodies, pizza and fresh roasted Aroma coffee will be available to sustain you while you shop.
Proceeds from the giant garage sale go to Quadra’s sponsorship of the Basao-Dilag and Lubo-Hilltop pre-school/daycare programs in remote areas of Luzon in the northern Philippines. The $5,500 raised annually provides supplies, teacher stipends and bonuses for the two day-cares as well as financing special projects such as com-munity backyard gardening and typhoon relief.
The Quadra Philippines Connection began in 1994 through IAT (the International Association for Transformation), a small non-profit organization operat-ing out of lower Vancouver Island. IAT has been involved in child sponsorship in the Philippines for over 30 years with a focus on education, leadership skills and youth empowerment. You can check out their website at www.iatcan.org.

As the official end of summer approaches, work on the St. Ann’s upgrade project is on track, and contractors are planning ahead to the start of the second phase and related road detours.
“The project is on schedule and on budget,” said Jason Hartley, Manager of Capital Works for the City of Campbell River. “To date we have had no significant issues that would have changed the contractor’s timing estimate.”
As of the first week of September, all underground work along St. Ann’s Road on the west side of Alder Street is complete, and this section has been paved. The contractor has also installed new storm system piping on Dubeau and Beech streets. The installation of electrical conduits has begun, start-ing at the Alder and St. Ann’s inter-section.
The next steps for the project include preparing to pave the road-
ways of the excavated areas, which involves compacting road’s base and sub base material.
“The excellent summer weather has been a big help at keeping close to the project schedule, with a bit of rain keeping the dust to a minimum,” said Mayor Walter Jakeway. “To the general community and specifically the businesses in the area: thank you for your patience and for working around the project so well. As the amount of completed work increas-es, the new look of the area will start to be apparent, and the benefits of improved infrastructure will last long into the future. Opportunities to complete major upgrades of buried services infrastructure, at key inter-sections, doesn’t happen often for a busy city.”
Current road detours will stay in place until the end of September or early October. It is anticipated that St. Ann’s Road will re-open to traffic in both directions at that time.
Once St. Ann’s is re-opened, Alder Street (between St. Ann’s and 10th Avenue) will then close to traf-fic for work on the second phase of the project.
“The goal of ‘swapped’ road clos-ures is to ensure there is manage-able traffic flow into the downtown core at all times during the project,” Hartley explained. “To date this has been achieved by routing St. Ann’s traffic onto Alder.”
The second phase closure (Alder Street) is anticipated to go into late November, with completion of road surface restoration and final land-scaping anticipated to carry on into the new year.
A detailed map of the new detours will be posted in local news-papers and on the City website.
For full project details, visit the Downtown Revitalization project pages under Capital Projects on the City’s website (www.campbellriver.ca).

This year the Haig-Brown Festival will take place on Sunday, Sept. 29, from noon to 4 p.m. The festival is held each year on World Rivers Day at the Haig-Brown House prop-erty at 2250 Campbell River Rd (on the Gold River Hwy).
“The festival is a great fam-ily event with lots to see and do. If you’ve never been to the Haig-Brown property, the festival offers a great chance to explore the house and the grounds, and to find out more about some of our local com-munity groups that work to ful-fill the Haig-Browns’ legacy,” says festival organizer Cynthia Bendickson.
The festival explores the themes of fishing, literature and conservation, with the addition of outdoor recreation and safety, and recognition is also given to Ann (Elmore) Haig-Brown who assisted vulnerable women. Fly tying demos, fly fishing lessons, children’s games and crafts,
good food, readings from Haig-Brown writings, great displays and property tours are all part of the festival which also serves to showcase local artis-tic and musical talent.
Located on the banks of the Campbell River, adjacent to the Kingfisher Creek conservation area and surrounded by woods, the site’s location by the river is a focal point for the celebra-tion. The Haig-Brown House on the property will be open and visitors can peruse the study with its treasure trove of classic literature.
The City of Campbell River will again present Stewardship Awards on centre stage to individ-uals, groups or business-es in recognition of their contribution in areas of conservation like habitat awareness, waste reduc-tion, energy and water conservation, and air quality protection.
Roderick Haig-
Brown was a fly fisherman, lay judge, and author, who became famous through his writings, some of which are considered to be classics today. Haig-Brown was an avid conservationist, and spoke of preserving the natural environ-ment long before environment-alism became a popular issue.He is credited with creating a positive impact on the future of Campbell River through his foresight.
Admission is free, and appeals to all ages. For further information call the Museum at Campbell River 250-287-3103.

With its comparatively delicate layers of aroma and flavour from violets through berries and green vegetables and herbs into spices, leather, roasted meats and a mush-room and truffle kind of medley often described as “forest floor” – Pinot Noir is much more about subtlety than sheer power.
Incredibly affordable wines like Sonora Desert Ranch Pinot Noir (284059) $8.59 are routinely passed over for the closest bottle of whatever imported red is cur-rently trendy. “Blended from International and Canadian Wines” and low in tannins, it features subtly earthy black cherry under a twist of cara-mel and tree bark.
Exposed as “The Heartbreak Grape” in Marq de Villiers’ 1994 study, Pinot Noir has long been considered difficult to grow success-fully and just as challenging to turn into fine wine. Recent developments in “New World” vineyards seem to be upsetting that notion with tasty wines from Chile, California, Australia, South Africa, Oregon and British Columbia.
Typically light in “weight” and colour ConoSur Pinot Noir (341602) $11.49 from Chile is very much a “textbook” New World Pinot Noir – with that elusive scent of fresh cut beets over dark cherry and jammy strawberry flavours and that “tree bark” liquorice twist of fresh leathery tobacco leaf.
Historically considered to reach its zenith in France’s Burgundy region, Pinot Noir has had a history of making anything from a very pale rosé to an opaque black-purple red wine. It can offer anything from sweet and lightly fruity red berry flavours to earthy mushrooms and even soy or molasses over layers of barnyard and tree bark and fresh-dug truffles over spicy black-berry and blackcurrant.
It is tough to find a more seductively sweet little Pinot Noir than Mirassou Pinot Noir (366880) $13.99 at this price. Lashings of red berry and candied cherry fruit lunge lascivi-ously for the tongue with every sip of this light and flirtatious California “Central Coast” red.
Lomas del Valle Pinot Noir (551283) $14.99 is another bargain priced Chilean wine that will cost you half the price of any equivalent “Burgundy”. More duskily “dry” and brooding than fruity on first sip, very reflective of the cool climate of the Casablanca Valley, it opens up into cherry, pomegranate and blackcurrant as it breathes in the glass.
One of only three Pinot Noirs awarded the 2013 Lt. Governor’s Award for Excellence in
British Columbia Wine, CalonaArtists Series Pinot Noir 2011 (432898) $15.99 could be a puzzle if it’s your first exposure to this variety. For the average, everyday red wine lover, it might help to think of this outrageously sip-able light red as a very full-bodied rosé. Sweet strawberry jam flavours slide into cranberry over earthy beets and finish with a little twist of liquorice.
Monterey County based Hahn Family Wines uses organic
approved and reduced-risk synthetic pesticides like Stylet-Oil® oil - a biodegradable fungicide and insecticide - in their vineyards instead of sulphur, when possible, to control mildew and suppress mites.
A serious contender in its price range among California’s premium examples, Hahn Pinot Noir (831099) $21.99 is soft at first sip, almost sweet, with some earthy beet and subtle herbal hints hovering around a sturdy core of ripe strawberry and black cherry fruit flavours and aromas.
Surprisingly sippable solo, although defin-itely more “dry” than sweet, Olivier LeFlaive Bourgogne Pinot Noir (867150) $24.99 really holds back until the food is on the table. An entry-level Pinot Noir from Burgundy, from a winery better known for its pricier Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet. Tree-dried cherries, subtle strawberry and distinctly earthy beet notes emerge as food tames its considerable tannins and the wine breathes in the glass.
A couple of bucks up the price ladder will get you a bottle of Akarua ‘Rua’ Central Otago Pinot Noir (20552) $26.99. This is about as full-throttle as the lighter style of Pinot Noir can get, particularly from New Zealand. Lots of rich textural “mouthfeel” on the tongue give “weight” to the classic and generous cherry/berry fruit flavours.
Magnificently mirroring much more exclusive and expensive French wines from Burgundy, Marimar Estate “Don Miguel Vineyard” River Valley Pinot Noir (711333) $44.99 takes California’s efforts with this teasingly difficult wine grape to new heights. Concentrated layers of cherries, berries, raisins and dried prunes hover over an earthy undercur-rent of mushrooms and truffles before sliding into subtle echoes of molasses, dark chocolate and coffee. Simply stunning!

I could carry, paddle, walk and sing with any man I ever saw...No portage was ever too long for me, fifty songs I could sing. I have had twelve wives and six running dogs. I spent all my money on pleasure. Were I young again, I would spend my life the same way over. There is no life so happy as a voyageur’s life.
Old voyageur, circa 1825
I think ‘voyageur’ is one of the most galvanic words in Canadian history. Imagine those guys! Fourteen-hour days squatting in birch bark shells, shoulders knot-ted, sweat popping off their brows, paddling a stroke a second, smash-ing through rapids, bogs and Great Lakes cloudbursts, sleeping under their canoes when the blackflies and mosquitoes allowed them to. And doing it from the top of the Lachine rapids to the nethermost snout of Lake Superior.
And back. Every year between
spring break-up and the autumn freeze. The voyageurs’ exploits defined this country for nearly two centuries, and then faded from the scene as the beaver that drew them west grew sparse.
In the end they left no more mark than a paddle swirl on the water. And even less of a record, being mostly illiterate.
Voyageur. In English, ‘voyager’: one who goes on a long and sometimes dangerous journey.
There is another voyager – called, in fact, Voyager 2. It is a NASA spacecraft in the 36th year of a profoundly perilous journey. It has travelled through our entire solar system, beyond Mars, Saturn, even Pluto.
Voyager 2 doesn’t present any-
thing close to the noble silhouette of a Voyageur canot du nord. It looks like a collision of giant
kitchen utensils, an ungainly mashup of antennae and probes attached to a dog’s breakfast of scientific instruments. But it can fly. Voyager 2 has been moving away from Earth for nearly four decades now and is doubtless dented and scarred by its (so far) 16-billion mile voyage.
But get this. In the belly of Voyager 2 there is a golden disc. It is a recording of earth sounds destined for the ears of...well who knows? Whoever or whatever is Out There. Any sentient being that can figure out how to access that disc will hear the sound of:
A gust of wind, the patter of rain, human footsteps, the chitter
of a chimpanzee, a baby’s heart-beat, a mother’s kiss, and a burst of belly laughter.
Also, the music of Bach and Mozart. Plus Chuck Berry’s ‘Johnny Be Good’.
It was a galactic leap of faith. When Voyager 2 launched, the planet was knotted in a Cold War, famine and disease stalked huge swathes of Asia and Africa. A spectre called Aids was just begin-ning to cast its shadow. The world, as it usually is, was a mess.
But out of the chaos, this: a cry to the universe that says: We’re good. We can do beautiful things. We matter.
Carl Sagan, who helped choose the sound bites on the golden disc, said “The launching of this bottle into the cosmic ocean says some-thing very hopeful about life on this planet.”
Indeed it does. It’s a message any Canadian voyageur would understand in his bones.
Our View
The only refuge is in humility, an utterly convinced, completely self-effacing humility before the complexity of truth and the even greater complexity of human nature, in the solemn certainty that complete impartiality and complete honesty are beyond the power of man, no matter how he may strain for them. In this there is a measure of help towards the proper balance of head and heart and law that yields a fair decision. - Roderick Haig-Brown

I am writing this letter expressing my profound disagreement with City Council’s adoption of the borrowing bylaws (totaling $15 million) without going to referendum.
I, for one, want a voice in how the City decides to spend taxpayer’s money. Every elector in this city should have the oppor-tunity to mark a ballot expressing their wishes in this matter, rather than letting Council only make the decisions.
An elector has to be 18 years of age or older, a Canadian citizen, lived in BC for six months and lived in the City of Campbell River for 30 days before sign-
ing the forms. To that end I am encouraging all elec-
tors in the City to get the forms (two for each person - one for each bylaw) com-plete them and get them delivered to City Hall not later than Sept. 23, 2013 at 4:30 p.m. In fact have them delivered earlier than that if you possibly can.
If anyone requires forms I will provide them and have them delivered to City Hall for you. Just call me at 250-203-1741, and if busy leave a message, and I will arrange to have forms provided and deliv-ered for you.

Our community has received a cry for help from those people who will be there for every one of us during our darkest hour.
We need to build a house for hospice.Or, someone needs to donate a house and we need to pay for
the necessary renovations.It is as simple as that. And yes, it is simple, only because of our track record in
Campbell River. When there is a cause, we give, and give some more.
We are the gold standard for philanthropy.We are all going to die, some of us sooner than others. And all of us want that time to be peaceful, free of pain, digni-
fied, and to be surrounded by those we love and feel safe with. Hospice staff members help manage pain and symptoms and
provide emotional and spiritual support so patients and their care-givers can make the most of each day. Death does not have to be depressing, sad or scary.
But without bricks and mortar, how can end-of-life care work?Without one single designated hospice bed in the new hospital,
our small town needs to come together to meet the needs of those community members who are passing away.
The Vancouver Island Health Authority has a responsibility to contribute to hospice palliative and end-of-life care services, and they do.
The problem is the inequality of funding between Victoria and the other nine hospices on the island.
Victoria Hospice receives roughly half of its funding from VIHA, about $3 million a year. VIHA recently announced a new contract for that hospice, over seven years approximately $20 mil-lion.
Every other hospice on the Island got one time funding of $11,700 each in the 2010/11 fiscal year for a total of $105,300.
There is something wrong with this picture.The wheels of government move slowly. Campbell River
cannot wait for an epiphany from VIHA that our community members need a Hospice just as much as those who live in the Capital.
We need to roll up our sleeves and get this done. Some people do not have a lot of time to wait.

A Legion full of pop-pies to Marlene Wocks for her dedication
and commitment to the Royal Canadian Legion Br. #137. You did not deserve to be publicly bullied and humiliated in front of your fellow comrades. Let us just say, we resoundingly appreciate you and your efforts to keep our Legion viable.
Your Comrades
So we’re out walking one night, down the Mac’s Alder hill. Nice night, people out and this young lad and his little white dog are walking toward us. He sees us, walks off the sidewalk taking his dog with him, who he makes sit down on the shoulder while we pass. So considerate. Your mom and dad should be proud of the way they brought you up, and the way you chose to handle yourself.
Nice to see :)
A large fast food meal of Thorns to the old lady (and her bystander daugh-
ter) who decided the evening of Sept. 2 was a great day to harass and bully my sister at work. You came up to my sister, completely unprovoked, and told her she (and “everyone in Campbell River”) looked miserable. You made your order, and snig-gered at her from the sidelines, like some high school gossiper, because she was concentrating on filling all of the orders and was stressed out. You called her names and yelled and screamed and embarrassed not only her, but yourself as well. You took advantage of the new girl at work. You knew that because you are older and not the one cur-rently working, she would feel afraid to say something. Well I am not!! Nobody forced you to move here, lady. And you may feel entitled to it, but you have NO right to treat my sister or any fast-food worker with such disrespect. You are a BULLY and you are cruel and if anyone is the miserable one...it is YOU! You should feel ashamed of yourself. I hope Campbell River displeases you in EVERY way so that you are driven out of this town — goodness knows I do not want you here, and neither does anybody who witnessed your harassment, browbeating, and absolutely repulsive behaviour. You won’t last long here if that’s
how you mean to treat the com-munity members. And if some-day we meet, Ill have even more of a mouthful of thorns to fling your way.
Not Happy
A tire full of thorns to the grumpy man with the convertible white porsche.
I don’t know if you woke up on the wrong side of the bed or if this is normally how you treat people. Standing in line with my one year old and four year old boys, you started yelling at me about how I cut in line. If you had eyes in the back of your head (joking) maybe you would have seen it from a different view. I did not intentionally go in front of you in the line up. I apologized and in return I got a grumpy old guy yelling at me in front of my boys. I composed myself and asked, “sir, you do not have to be so rude to me”, in return you yell back, “I’M NOT THE ONE BEING RUDE!!”. If you ask anyone in that store at that time, they would beg to differ. Also thorns to the two cashiers who just stood there not saying anything. I was so upset when he left, I started getting tears in my eyes, still you ignored the situation. As a mom I try and teach my boys how to respect and be kind to people. I hope that you read this and realize that even the little choices that you make in life make a difference.
What were you thinking
Roses to Campbell River’s Downtown BIA! Thank you for Campbell
River’s newest attraction; the HUGE frame at Robert Ostler Park.
Kim Brown
We would like to send a bambi-bucket full of roses to Ed and Vicki
of E&B Helicopters. They were so accommodating to take our cousin, from South Africa, up for a ride and an eagle’s eye view of beautiful Campbell River. Ed, you make a great tour guide and have helped give Sandra a holi-day she will never forget. Thanks so much.
The Wilson Family
Thorns to the bus driver on the Alder 3 p.m. route who gave no help to
three elderly passengers, includ-
ing a wheelchair, oxygen bound handicapped lady. This slack of compassion included not even securing her wheelchair (which skidded across the bus when a turn was made). No help whatso-ever. Shame, shame, shame.
A very embarrassed CR resident
The Nunns Creek Stewards would like to thank Rob Kaiser of
Innovating Plant Products for donating the use of his excava-tor and Dan Obzera, highly skilled operator, of Hard Rock and Road Inc. for donating time on Aug. 25 to clear a log jam in Nunns Creek. Nunns Creek is a wild coho and chum creek. It also supports fry from the Quinsam Hatchery. The Nunns Creek Stewards began a project of installing large woody debris sites in the creek, starting in 2002, to increase spawning habi-tat. Because of climate change (wetter winters) and development (loss of wetlands and stream vegetation coverage) flash floods are now a concern. Thank you also to Barry Peters, former DFO Community Advisor, for organiz-ing the clean up. Please support those who support our creeks.
Sylvia Jago
To the person in a certain trailer park who used a weed eater on my
cat. Have you any concept of the agony you caused that animal??? Of course you do because that’s what you intended, you jerk! The cat was on your lot, right? I guess you don’t own a water hose, just a weed eater. A water hose will
deter a cat without any injury and they will remember, but you used one of the most inhumane meth-ods I’ve ever hear of. Besides the extreme pain you caused the ani-mal, my vet bill didn’t do much for my health either. How does your garden grow? I wish you nothing but weeds and thorns!
One angry pet owner
Inflatable boat full of roses to Colleen, Greg
and David who rescued my dog from the ocean. What started out as a lovely day for a walk and a quick dip in the water for my nine year old lab, Maya, turned into a terrifying experience as she swam further and further out into the ocean. First on the scene to offer assistance was Colleen who offered to run home and come back with family and a canoe. Some passers by offered to call the police, which I did eventually and was advised that the canoe offered by Colleen was my best hope. Before Colleen could make it back, two men named Greg and David sprung into action. They had been watching the events unfold from their home and brought their inflatable motorized boat out to rescue my dog. According to Brian, Maya was chasing seals. I apologize profusely to all for not being a more responsible dog owner and I am so thankful that the right people were there to res-cue Maya, thus saving me from a lot of heartache. They dropped what they were doing to rescue a dog for a stranger. Words can-not express my gratitude to all of you.

QUINSAM COAL CORPORATIONENVIRONMENTAL TECHNICAL
REVIEW COMMITTEE REPORT – AUGUST 2013Waste Management Permit PE-07008 was issued December 23, 1987, to the company presently known as Quinsam Coal Corporation (QCC) for discharge of effl uent to the environment. The permit specifi es environmental conditions and establishes the Environ-mental Technical Review Committee (ETRC) to co-ordinate an annual review of moni-toring results. This committee is composed of technical representatives from the Ministry of Environment (MOE); the Ministry of Energy and Mines; the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans; Environment Canada; the City of Campbell River; and QCC. The committee reviews all monitoring data for the mine site and reports to the public. This notice reports on the twenty-forth Annual Report covering the period from April 2011 to March 2012. Delays in publication of this notice are in due in part to the timing of the ETRC meeting in December 2012, and subsequent public meeting in March 2013.
There were no exceedances of the maximum permitted effl uent discharge quantity limits during this reporting period. The maximum permitted concentration of total suspended solids was exceeded on fi ve occasions at the discharges of Settling Pond 1 and 4. These were attributed to heavy rainfall and sampling error. Improvements to the sampling method were made to reduce future sampling error. There were no other exceedances of the maximum permitted effl uent discharge quality limits during this reporting period.
Elevated iron levels continued to be noted at a culvert draining to Long Lake which in-cludes water from the south mine area and other drainages. QCC’s evaluation and mitiga-tion of this issue is ongoing. Elevated iron also continued at Long Lake Seep. Treatment has been initiated for Long Lake Seep water, in part to reduce iron levels.
A number of receiving environment sulphate samples exceeded the provincial sulphate guideline, which was 100 mg/L during the reporting period. In Long Lake, sulphate concentrations were comparable to past years’ results, with a maximum of 79 mg/L at the surface of the lake and a maximum of 160 mg/L in deeper waters. Reduction in sulphate levels is one of the main goals of the Long Lake Seep treatment system.
In Middle Quinsam Lake, the maximum sulphate concentration was 170 mg/L at the lake bottom. Sulphate levels were below the provincial guidelines at all other depths in Middle Quinsam Lake. Sulphate levels at the outlet of Middle Quinsam Lake continued to be well below the provincial sulphate guideline.
QCC conducted a comparison of metal and metalloid concentrations in the receiving en-vironment with the Provincial Water Quality Guidelines (WQG). Arsenic, iron and man-ganese concentrations were all found to be within the WQG. Elevated levels of cadmium and mercury were found at some stream and lake sample locations. MOE requested QCC to retain a qualifi ed professional to evaluate current and historic cadmium and mercury levels in the receiving environment.
In addition to the work done by QCC, the Canadian Water Network and MOE continue to evaluate the current extent, background levels, sources and risks of contaminants of concern in Long Lake sediment.
It is the opinion of the Environmental Technical Review Committee that water quality in Middle Quinsam Lake and the Quinsam River remains good.
Although outside the reporting period, it is notable that QCC’s effl uent permit was amended in January 2013. The amendment allows discharge from QCC’s 7-South operation and includes environmental protection requirements. The discharge enters the Quinsam River via an ephemeral stream and wetland. Monitoring is ongoing in this area and results will be included in subsequent reports.
The 2011-12 Annual Report is available for review at the Ministry of Environment offi ce in Nanaimo (2080A Labieux Road), telephone (250) 751-3100, the QCC mine site offi ce, telephone 286 3224, The City of Campbell River, telephone 286-5700 or the Campbell River Branch of the Vancouver Island Regional Library.

The planned work to be done at Centennial Park had a monkey bar thrown into it when the tender came in much higher than the budget.
Milestone Equipment Contracting quoted $460,214.27 to replace the exist-ing traditional playground equipment structure and resurfacing the multi-use court.
The design engineer’s class ‘A’ cost estimate was $368,010.00
City staff made a recommendation to council on Tuesday night to award the tender to Milestone Equipment Contracting Inc. based on a reduced pro-ject scope which aligns with the funding available within the approved financial plan.
“Given the significance of the pro-ject, staff has explored a reduced project scope in detail,” said Ross Milnthorp, Manager for Parks, Recreation and Culture. “Adjustments have been made to the project scope by removing optional
work.”That optional work includes the
entrance gazebo, lighting and concrete benches in the ampitheatre.
The other options presented to coun-cil were to identify additional internal sources of revenue, amend the financial plan accordingly and award the project as tendered; cancel the tender and replace the existing traditional playground structure with new traditional equipment using Parks Parcel Tax funds; or cancel the tender and cancel the capital project.
After a discussion about the consulta-tion project and the focus group process, Council approved the recommendations made by staff and the project will pro-ceed with some of the optional work off the table.
The work is scheduled to start in two to three weeks and must be completed by March 31, 2014.
“We are very excited about this new facility,” said Milnthorp. “We are looking forward to getting this done and watch-ing the children play.”

If you’re an amateur photog-rapher with an eye for wildlife, don’t miss out on your chance to see your best photo featured in the BC SPCA’s Fifth Annual Wildlife-In-Focus Photography Contest.
Digital photos are being accepted until Sept. 30 in the contest, which raises funds for the society’s Wild Animal Rehabilitation Centre (Wild ARC) on southern Vancouver Island, where more than 2,500 orphaned and injured wild animals are cared for every year.
“With the nation’s greatest divers-ity of wildlife in our own province, we are excited to help backyard and amateur photographers showcase these amazing animals,” says Sara Dubois, manager of wildlife servi-ces for the BC SPCA. Some of the photos entered in previous contests have been featured in the BC SPCA’s AnimalSense and Bark! magazines, local newspapers and even a book City Critters: Wildlife in the Urban Jungle, authored by local journalist Nicholas Read. Dubois notes, “It’s a testament to the calibre of photos that are entered.”
Prizes will be awarded for the top three photos in each of two categor-ies: Wild Settings and Backyard Habitats.
The contest is open to all adult (age 14 years and up) backyard and amateur photographers residing in BC. Learn more about this year’s contest and see winners from past contests at spca.bc.ca/wildlife-in-focus.
The annual contest encourages participants to explore greenspaces, roadsides, beaches and even back-yards to find striking images that represent the resiliency of local wildlife living at the interface with humans. Wildlife includes free-liv-ing birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, fish and insects, but not exotic, feral or domestic animals, or wildlife in zoos or rehabilitation facilities.

The Campbell River Arts Council, the Haig-Brown Institute, the Museum at Campbell River and School District 72 are partnering this year to present the 2013 Haig-Brown Memorial Lecture. The lecture will take place on Saturday
evening, Sept. 28, from 6:30-8:30 p.m., at the newly renovated Rivercity Stage Theatre, 1080 Hemlock Street in Campbell River. This year’s lec-ture, entitled “Land For The People: A New Environmental Languagefor British Columbia”,
will be delivered by noted Canadian author Harold Rhenisch.
Rhenisch wrote ‘Motherstone: British Columbia’s Volcanic Plateau’ and edited ‘Spirit in the Grass’ with the photographer Chris Harris. Along with these two large for-mat environmental photographic books about Central British Columbia, he is the author of ‘Winging Home’, an ecological book about British Columbia birds.
Rhenisch has written 25 other books of hist-ory, literature and poetry. For 22 months, he has been working on two environmental projects: one about the salmon of the Okanagan and their
link to the Manhattan Project, and one about developing new green technologies to harness the power of earth and sun to capture, store and move energy. His research and photographs for those projects are documented on his blog, www.okanaganokanogan.com. From 2007 to 2011 he lived in Campbell River, where he wrote a play about Roderick Haig-Brown, and started the Roderick Haig-Brown Memorial Lectures working with Ken Blackburn of the Arts Council.
The Haig-Brown Memorial Lecture Series was created by the Arts Council in 2009. The intention is to honour the legacy of both Roderick Haig-Brown and Ann Haig-Brown (nee Elmore). Roderick Haig-Brown (1908-1976) applied his passion equally to fishing, writing, conservation, and public service and left behind a strong legacy of literary excellence, centered on the rivers of British Columbia. His work represented an early environmental voice.
Ann Elmore was a major force for social justice issues in Campbell River, notably aroundthe challenges facing women. The Ann Elmore Transition House is named in her honour.
The Haig-Brown Memorial Lectures were created to provide an annual forum for writers to inspire a new generation with their vision for the environment, social issues and literary excellence. A signed and numbered collect-able chapbook of the 2013 Lecture has been produced and will be available at the Rivercity Stage Theatre. Call the Arts Council at 250-923-0213 to reserve a seat for this historic event. The cost for the Lecture is $10. All pro-ceeds go to support the Memorial Lecture.
Photo submittedAuthor Harold Rhenisch
Groups partner up forHaig-Brown LectureThe City of Campbell River’s next one-hour
lunch ’n’ learn session for local builders and developers will focus on water Wednesday, Sept. 18.
The City of Campbell River provides safe drinking water within City boundaries and by contract to some neighbouring areas.
“A vital component of delivering high qual-ity drinking water is the cross connection and backflow prevention program,” says Nathalie Viau, the City’s utilities project supervisor.
Forum participants will meet the City’s Utilities Project Supervisor and discuss how
to keep contaminants out of the water supply system through cross connections and backflow (reversal of water flow) prevention as well as ways to avoid water quality problems.
Local industry professionals interested in attending are reminded to bring their own brown bag lunch. Please note these forums are now held on a quarterly basis.
The forum will take place at noon, Wednesday, Sept. 18 in the committee room at City Hall – please note the venue change for this one event. Seating is limited to 16 atten-dees.

Interested in saving your own seeds for next year’s garden? Learn how at the next Lettuce Grow Workshop Sunday, Sept. 15.
“How to Save Your Own Veggie Seeds” will be led by Robin Sturley, co-founder of Edible Earth Seeds, from 10 a.m. to noon, Sunday at North Island College.
The workshop will cover all the basics of saving high-quality vegetable seeds including tips and tricks and a chance to try winnow-ing, screening and decanting seed cleaning techniques. Participants will also take home regionally-adapted seeds for next year’s gar-den.
“This workshop will teach people how to save seeds to grow the same vegetable variety next year that’s just as delicious,” says Kira DeSorcy, Lettuce Grow lead instructor. “Say yes to nurturing that heirloom variety of squash!”
Not all seeds produce healthy offspring, DeSorcy warns. “Many hybrids and genetically-modified plants do not yield viable seeds, so people who want to save seeds from their vegetables for the next year should only buy open pollin-ated seeds,” DeSorcy adds.
“Edible Earth Seeds will teach people about saving vibrant, untreated, regionally-adapted seeds through organic tech-
niques for seed saving used in the Cowichan Valley,” says Sturley. “We are committed to ensuring bio-regional food sovereignty through the stewardship of heir-loom and traditional vegetable, herb and flower varieties.”
For more information, or to register for a Lettuce Grow work-shop, please visit http://www.nic.bc.ca/continuingeducation/ and search for GENI 7937 or visit your local campus.

‘Tis the season for saving seedsLettuce Grow Workshops
Photo SubmittedThe next Lettuce Grow Workshop is titled ‘How to Save Your Own Veggie Seeds’. It runs this Sunday at North Island College.
At right, Barb Round, Certified Zentangle Teacher, shows off a couple of samples she has made for her upcoming classes in Campbell River and Courtenay in September and October. Class 1: Introduction to Zentangle Class is followed by Classes 2 and 3, which take stu-dents beyond the basics. Students may sign up for one or all three. In addition, Barb has developed a new class, “ZIA Gardens” which will debut at Sybil Andrews Cottage on Sept. 28.
So...what exactly is Zentangle? This new art form can be mastered by both children and adults and used for simple decoration or complex art pieces. Requiring only a good fine-tip black pen, a soft lead pencil and a small “tile” of quality paper, Zentangle does not require a huge investment in supplies, and can be done anywhere (on the ferry, or wait-ing for an appointment). Developed by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas, Zentangle consists of a series of simple steps, forming complex-look-ing patterns.
Zentangle has therapeutic value as well. Drawings are created using structured designs in repetitive pat-terns, a very absorbing process which
takes your complete focus, creating a sense of calm...hence the “Zen” part of the name. It has been found to be very helpful with eye-hand coordina-tion, improving concentration skills and provides stress relief.
For more information contact Barb at 250-923-0739 or email: [email protected]. Class registration is online at barbroundczt.weebly.com under the “Classes and Events”.

The end of summer means that the lovely street banners that have graced our town will soon be taken down.
The Campbell River Arts Council, creator of the Banner Project, is pleased to announce the web site for the Banner Auction. This website, set up by this year’s sponsor, the Pacific Salmon Foundation, will help you to bid on your favourite. Go to www.psf.ca (click on “Support PSF” and
2013 Banner Project), select the banner you would like, click on it and make a note of its number. Either phone the number provided or email.
Funds from this banner auction will go to the Pacific Salmon Foundation and the Campbell River Arts Council.
The Pacific Salmon Foundation raises money and makes grants to volunteer organizations that work on behalf of salmon across the
province – $34 million invest-ed in volunteer-driven salmon projects that have engaged more than 35,000 vol-unteers. The Foundation was established in 1987 as an independent, non-governmental, charitable organization to protect, conserve and rebuild wild Pacific salmon popula-tions in British Columbia and the Yukon Territory.

Planning for Life Changesis a not-for-profi t group made of local professionals
who provide free seminars that will cover various aspects of life including retirement planning, income
taxes, Wills and Power of Attorney, real estate matters and funeral planning.
Nobody wakes up in the morning and decides today would be a great day to plan their final arrangements. Mind you, no one plans on not waking up one day… and yet it happens…to all of us. One day, we just won’t be here.
That doesn’t mean we can’t continue to be responsible (albeit an absentee), member of society, It’s true.
Did you know?Funding of final expenses
through your pre-planned arrangements can allow you to leave funds immediately avail-able for your executor or exec-utrix to cover legal fees, travel expenses or other unforeseen miscellaneous costs. Planned giving can allow you to set aside a small or large lump sum amount for your children, grandchildren, favourite char-ity, lodge, church or club…it is a wonderful way to donate and allows you the flexibility of
determining how you would like to designate your legacy. Like your pre-planned funeral arrangements, these funds are your tax free gift to anyone of your choosing. In fact, if your plan is insured, any funds you designate under a planned gift may be fully covered, even if you were to pass away before your personal plan was fully funded.
By pre-planning your final arrangements you are ensuring that the stress and financial pressure of making funeral arrangements is removed from your grieving fam-ily. Planned giving allows funds to be released immedi-ately to whomever you have designated as a beneficiary. No waiting for probate, no restricted access. Your planned gift can instantly be released directly through your funeral provider.
(As an example, if our funeral home were to receive insured funeral funds, we issue a cheque directly to the person or charity listed as the beneficiary of a planned gift.)
It’s that simple. There are many options for planned giving including
trust funds, wills, and life insurance, however funeral insurance is one of the easiest and most flexible ways to contribute, regardless of age or health concerns.
Whether your gift is designated to one family member or several, a hospice organization, or research grant, con-sider planned giving in your funeral plans, let the world know you were here, and consider leaving a legacy for the future.

The Tidemark Theatre re-opened on Aug. 27 after the annual summer shutdown, showcasing a renovated Box Office and a brand new ticketing system.
These improvements to the facility are part of the T25 Capital Upgrade Project. The project, which features the modernization of the existing historical Tidemark Theatre with new seating, state-of-the-art computerized lighting, in house projection equip-ment, monitor system, and an online ticketing system, is funded by the City of Campbell River ($250,000), Island Coastal Sustainability Trust
($153,000), Coast Sustainability Trust ($153,000), and the Tidemark Theatre’s own fundraising efforts, which have raised just over $125,000 since the start of the T25 Capital Campaign in January 2012. The total budget for the T25 Capital Upgrade Project is estimated to be just over $600,000.
In January 2013, the Tidemark Theatre installed a brand new in house projection system, featuring a state-of-the-art projector and screen. Over the past month, the Tidemark Theatre’s new ticketing system, Theatre Manager, was installed and
the Box Office was completely renovated. The new ticket-ing system will help the facil-ity better serve their patrons. Previously, the theatre had a paper-based sys-tem for selling tickets. With the installation of the new ticketing
system, the Tidemark Theatre joins the ranks of the Sid Williams Theatre, The Port Theatre, and the Cowichan Theatre – all of whom have had an online ticketing system for several
years now. Key features of the system include:
• Tickets to events can now be purchased online;
• Patrons can select their own seats online;
• Lost tickets can easily be replaced;
• Patrons can have their tickets mailed;
• Tidemark Theatre can utilize the technology to ticket events for other local organizations;
Kim Emsley-Leik, Managing Director of the Tidemark Theatre
Society, comments, “These upgrades are not only going to help us stream-line and enhance the efficiency of our operations, they are going to have a direct economic impact on the com-munity. Event hosting is a viable economic development activity, and we recognize that. Every day we host events at the Tidemark Theatre that have direct economic spinoffs that positively impact the community of Campbell River – we do business with local media outlets, hotels, print-ers, restaurants, suppliers, numerous contractors, the list goes on and on. The capital upgrades are already gen-erating economic spinoffs as we begin to contract the services of several local companies to help us execute the T25 Capital Upgrade Project.”
“In the coming year the public is going to see lots of change here at the Tidemark Theatre,” states Marlene Wray, President of the Tidemark Theatre Society. “But it’s good change – change that leads to bigger and better things. We are tremen-dously appreciative of the community support we have received to date for the T25 Capital Upgrade Project.
“Over the next year, the Tidemark Theatre Society will continue to fund raise for the T25 Capital Upgrade Project, and efforts will be focused on the seating project, which will see the replacement of the seats in the audi-torium. Project start date for the seat-ing installation is tentatively proposed to be July 1, 2013.”

Cozy up with a favourite craft this fall when you register for a quilting or beading class at the Community Centre.
A sampler quilt is a fabu-lous way for a novice or an experienced quilter to learn the basics of rotary cutting, sewing blocks and putting them togeth-er to form a beautiful quilt. Jackee Thaysen is a passionate quilter who loves to share her expertise, and her fun classes teach a variety of blocks and techniques in the four lessons.
This class will be held at the Community Centre on Fridays, 12:30 to 3 p.m., from Sept. 20 to Oct. 11. Cost is $50 for all four classes, $45 for 50+ members.
Eileen Neill, the Bead Lady from Qualicum Beach, wowed us with her booth in the Vendor’s Mall at the Fibre Fest when she displayed her huge selection of beads and beautiful stitch work.
Eileen will teach “Embellishing Quilts and Stitch Work” on Saturday, Oct. 5 from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Community Centre. Cost is $65, $60 for 50+ members.
Register soon for both classes at the Sportsplex or the Community Centre to reserve your spot. For more information on these or other pro-grams, please call the Community Centre, 250-286-1161, or the Sportsplex, 250-923-7911.

Hats off to Shelagh Germyn, Lori Harrison and the many, many other volunteers, runners and walkers involved in the 10th Annual Women for Women 5k/10k Trail Mix Challenge last Saturday. A near-record 75
participants took part, and the weather made the event pic-ture-perfect.
Recent rains provided some interesting mud puddles in the trails behind Carihi, and the course was well marked and marshalled. This run, which might be considered smallish by some standards, has a big heart. It was created from a strong desire to help women in need in the Campbell River area. This year, three local initiatives were the recipients,
including a bursary foundation which helps single moms get a better education, and therefore a better job to pro-vide for their families.
This really does make the fabric of our community stronger.
Coming up on the schedule is the Frogger 15 km. This is a new event for Campbell River. It takes place Sept. 21 starting in Spirit Square and is an out-and-back into the Beaver Lodge Forest Lands. This event raises money for the Greenways Land Trust, whose mission is to enhance the natural spaces around Campbell River. One of their projects is to complete the Greenways Loop, connecting the Beaver Lodge Lands to the waterfront down Jubilee Parkway. When this is complete, residents and our guests will get even more enjoyment of our beautiful city.
If you asked around, I’m sure most Campbell Riverites would say they love the people and the natural environ-ment here. When you participate in a local run/walk, you can’t help but be touched by both.

Seven Campbell River Athletics youth rugby players had the chance to learn from two of the world’s best rugby 7s players, England’s Ben Gollings, and Fiji’s Waisale Serevi, at a youth clinic last weekend at the University of Victoria, in conjunc-tion with the Victoria International 7s Tournament.
They were put through their paces with three hours of high-tempo drills that emphasized quick decision mak-ing, communication, fitness, and
perfecting their technical skills. The lucky seven Riverites making the trip to Victoria included Kyle Watson, 11, Tyler Miller, 11, Henry Young, 10, Nolan Young, 13, Gloria Figueroa, 17, Georgia Bellamy, 16 and Haley Wingert, 11.
“This was a great way to kick-start our season,” says Campbell River club president Erin Young. “We are very lucky to live and play rugby here on the Island where exposure to high level coaches and players like these
former Internationals is possible, though not to be taken for granted. The skill level and expectations were high at this event, but the emphasis was on fun, improving skills and giv-ing your best effort, which is how we run our club here in Campbell River.”
This Sunday, Sept. 15, has Athletics’ Junior athletes getting their first taste of competition as they head to Shawnigan Lake School to compete in the Vancouver Island Rugby Union Junior 7s Tournament,
where Campbell River has partnered with the Comox Kickers to enter both Junior Men and Junior Women teams.
Players ages 7-13 will be train-ing at Southgate Middle School on Sunday and the club welcomes all interested players to join in. That age group will be competing in the Strathcona Investors Group Jamboree in Cumberland on Sept. 22.
For more info call Erin at 250-202-7642 or visit the club website at www.campbellriverrugby.webs.com.

The Campbell River Storm held the Wolves at bay for 58 minutes and 30 seconds Wednesday night at Westshore.
But then the Wolves went wild, scoring three goals in the final 1:30, and then the winner 32 seconds into overtime, for a bizarre 6-5 Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League OT vic-tory over the Storm.
The game was all but in the win column when Josiah Friesen gave the Storm a 5-2 led at the 18:09 mark of the third period. But then the Wolves found their offensive bite with two straight goals from Brett Lervold, the first at 18:30 and the second at 19:03. Westshore then tied the game, and sent it into OT, on a Trevor Parkhouse tally with just three ticks left on the clock.
Besides the defensive lapse in blowing the three goal lead, the Storm ran into a red hot Wolves netminder in Matt Chester. The Storm fired 21 shots Chester’s way after the first per-iod, but trailed 1-0. The Storm then solved Chester in the second period, but they had to up their shot count to an amazing 31 which amounted to four Campbell River goals and a 4-1 lead heading into the final period.
Final shot totals ended up 70-31 in the Storm’s favour.
With the OT loss, the single point moved the 2-1-1 Storm into first place in the North Division, one point up on Nanaimo. The Storm start a home doubleheader tonight at Rod Brind’Amour Arena when they take on the Kerry Park Islanders. Saturday the Storm host the Saanich Braves. Game time for both games is 7:30 p.m.
Campbell River was once again led offensively by their ‘twin tower’ connection of 6’2” Brendan DeVries and 6’3” Brayden Taekema. DeVries scored twice and added an assist, while Taekema chipped in with a goal and a helper. Both players now have eight points, on five goals and three assists each, in the Storm’s four games.
Colin Blake had the other Campbell River goal, plus he collected an assist for a two point outing. Tyson Smith had a pair of assists, single helpers went to Jordan Kamprath and Keenan Grant.

To date, over 7,400 registrations have been received for all four events – the Marathon, Half Marathon, 8K Road Race and the Thrifty Foods Kids Run. It is expected that there will be an increase in registrations over the next few days before the late registration fees apply.
All four races have been capped –the Marathon is capped at 3,000; Half Marathon at 6,000; 8K Road Race at 3,500 and the Thrifty Foods Kids Run at 1,300. The event runs Sunday, Oct. 13.

You can also sign up to volunteer and be part of the crew of 1,600 people.”
The regular marathon entry fee is
$110. The deadline also applies to the Half Marathon and the 8K Road Race where the fees are $85 and $40. After Sept. 15 late registration fees will apply – $130 for the Marathon, $95 for the Half Marathon and $45 for the 8K Road Race. The entry fee for the Thrifty Foods Kids Run remains at $15 until Oct. 12.
For the fifth year in a row the GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon will host the BC Marathon Championships. There is $37,300 available in prize money with $3,000 each going to the top male and femaleand a $5,000 bonus for a new men’s or women’s course record.

The Sequoia Ladies Club took to the links Tuesday, Sept. 3 for a game called circle nine. Each player picks their favorite nine holes, counts that score, minus half their handicap.
The winner was Grace Schmidt with an amazing net 23. Runner up was Arlene Robinson with a net 34, followed by Claire Brown and Betty Smith with a 34.5 each.
This past Tuesday the club held its annual Roadrunner Tournament. On every second hole was a different fun
thing to do like teeing off and playing the hole with a nine iron or teeing off with a child’s driver etc.
The winning team of Brown, Marilyn Liebel, Jackie Winspear and Karen Todoruk came in with a 74. Runners up was the team of Smith, Linda Ciochetti, Johnna Dodd and Vanessa Sjostrom with 79.
Closest to the Roadrunner on No. 3 was Dodd. A potluck lunch, hosted by Chris Jones at her pond-side home,was enjoyed by all.

For a lot of people the end of summer does NOT mean the end of riding. So for those of you that are sad to see
the summer coming to an end in the next month, but are already planning which hook to hang your bike on…think again. The biggest advantage to living on the west coast is mild winters and this gives us the ability to ride all year long.
With the addition of a few pieces of gear you can set yourself up for riding throughout the fall and winter. A couple layers of technical clothing to keep you warm and dry, a more aggressive set of
tires to combat the wet roots, and maybe a light set, to allow you to ride into the night.
If you haven’t experienced the local trails in the “off season” then you are missing out. There is a beauty to the rain forest that cannot be put into words. The colors are amazing, and with the thick canopy, many of the trails ride very nicely even in the wettest conditions.
So leave that hook empty this winter and put your bike to good use.
If you’re looking for a group to ride with, or a loaner light, then check out the Monday night rides in the Beaver Lodge Lands. All skill levels are welcome. Just call 250-914-Bike for all the details.
This week’s Swicked Tip - Tire choices: Every year when the weather changes and the trails start to get wet-ter, we lose traction and the riding gets a bit more tech-nical. Well rather than slipping and sliding around, or avoiding certain trails on wet days, look into a different style of tire.
Something with a more aggressive tread, a wider foot-print and a softer rubber compound will increase your traction and your ability in a huge way.
Stop into your favorite bike shop and ask about tire options to suit your style.
I’m James Durand and I’m goin’ ridin’.

Help shape downtown visioning workshopThis fall, the City of Campbell River will host an intensive visioning and design charrette to develop a community-supported concept for vacant land on the waterfront near Roberts Reach Road.
This exercise will fi ne-tune the community vision for this area that was established through the Sustainable Offi cial Community Plan process.
In preparation for the charrette, members of the public are invited to share their ideas for this area at an open house / workshop. Ideas gathered during the pre-charrette sessions will help structure the charrette led by a consulting team later this fall.

It’s that time of year again… when we’re set-ting the tone for the year ahead. Will it be, here we go again, what a grind? Will it be anxious and fearful? Or will it be positive and optimistic?
As children and teens head back to school, I’ve heard comments like, “I can’t wait to start school,” “I’m excited about all I’m going to learn this year,” and “I’m really looking for-ward to band because this year I get to play percus-sion.” Children and teens naturally look forward to new learning, new possi-bilities, re-connecting with friends and making new friends. Our job as parents is to encourage and support them.
The main questions I’m hearing from parents are about how to do that, in a world of social media. Parents struggle with ques-tions like, should we give our pre-teen a smart phone, or not? Should we allow a Facebook account? A blog? A twitter account?
How much computertime? How can we keep our children safe in a world of social media, amidst the horror stories about online bullying, peer exploitation, and the like? This is the time of year to set some boundaries and guidelines about social media, how much time is allowed, and how it fits with other values such as homework, house-hold chores, and family time.
Many parents are uncer-tain about how to protect their child on social media, and of the dangers. Make an effort to learn. Social media is here to stay. It provides great opportunity for inter-connections, and also great opportunity for exploitation. Parents need all the help we can give them to support kids.
One of the best resources
I’ve found is The Canadian Centrefor Child Protectionwhich pro-vides exten-sive online help for par-ents, schools, and for chil-dren and teens about how to keep safe, at
www.protectchildren.ca. You can access and download free information on every-thing from internet safety, to identifying luring behavior and registering complaints about improper websites and luring, and specific protective things parents can do. There are sheets to help parents make decisions about their child’s personal safety and healthy develop-ment. Teens and parents alike will appreciate www.needhelpnow.ca which has information on how to keep safe on social media, sex-ting, and peer exploitation online.
Listening for, and
encouraging, our child’s and teen’s passions, is one thing we can do especially this time of year. We have the opportunity to join with them in their enthusiasm for learning, while keeping them safe and, of course, teaching them the discipline that they’ll need to be suc-cessful as well.
This is a good time of year to re-focus on all our relationships, to be pro-active in creating the kind of relationship, and the kind of family, we want. What will we do together this fall to celebrate and appreciate each other? What can I do or say today, to make sure that each member of my family knows he or she is loved?

Art lovers – mark your calendars for Friday, Sept. 20 at 7:20 p.m. for the grand opening of the North Island College Faculty Exhibition at the Campbell River Art Gallery.
This group exhibition features work created by 10 Fine Arts faculty members from North Island College. Working in a range of media from painting to video, this exhibition provides the opportunity for these talented artists to exhibit current work and projects never before seen in Campbell River.
Sponsored by CR Fitness, this exhibition will encompass both the Main and Discovery Galleries, allow-ing space for each artist to exhibit work they are excited about. The Discovery Gallery will be transformed into a screening room to showcase the video projections of two faculty
members. Other art forms included in the exhibition are: photography, printmaking, painting, sculpture, and ceramics. As accomplished artists who focus a majority of the academic year on fostering their students’ artwork, the opportunity to exhibit their own creations has sparked creativity and empowered these faculty members to take chances within their respective medium. Don’t miss the opportun-ity to see cutting edge artwork from NIC’s talented Fine Arts Faculty.
Everyone is welcome at an open-ing reception for the NIC Faculty show on Friday, Sept. 20 at 7:20 p.m.
For more information, contact the Campbell River Art Gallery at 250-287-2261 or [email protected]. The NIC Faculty Exhibition will continue at the CR Art Gallery until Oct. 25.
NIC exhib starts Sept. 20
